Manufacturing Excellence – the process of achieving intended target value, reduce defects in a process, increase productivity, provide quality output and delivery. It is a long-term commitment and has to be consistent over time. Everyone of an organisation, starting from ground level to a higher level, has to contribute their knowledge & experience to achieve manufacturing excellence.

There are various ways to achieve it. But the popular and efficient one is by using the power of data – “Business Analytics”.

Some of the commonly used Business Analytics Techniques are Descriptive Analytics, Diagnostic Analytics, Predictive Analytics and Prescriptive Analytics. To apply Analytics, we should have a basic knowledge about applied statistics, and its applications at all levels of the organisation. Say, process designers should know about tolerance differences for robust design and should be well aware of the optimisation of a process.

Some of the popular statistical analytics tools which have a wide range of success in Analytics concepts are Measurement System Analysis, Statistical Process Control, Design of Experiment, etc. to name a few.
